Dale Chihuly
RISD MFA ’68 [Ceramics]
Dale Chihuly (www.dalechihuly.com) is in the select group of artists who are celebrated by critics and the general public alike. After being introduced to glass at the University of Washington and studying ceramics at RISD, he went on to establish RISD’s renowned Glass program and teach there for 15 years. In 1968 a Fulbright Fellowship allowed him to further his study at the Venini glass factory in Italy — an experience that influenced his team approach to blowing glass. Honorary doctorates, fellowships from the NEA and a grant from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation are among Chihuly’s other awards, and his work is in more than 200 museums around the world. He is based in western Washington, where he co-founded Pilchuck Glass School in 1971.
